Man Killed In Wood Chipper Identified
Brian Morse Owned Brian's Tree Service
The man who was pulled into a commercial wood chipper and killed was identified Thursday as the owner of a tree trimming service.The coroner said Brian Ganiard Morse, 54, was killed instantly Wednesday afternoon when his hand got caught and he was somehow pulled into the machine.Morse was identified using fingerprints.The Larimer County Coroner ruled the death accidental and said Morse's cause of death was "total morselization of body due to being pulled by a gloved hand into a commercial wood chipper."Morse owned Brian's Tree Trimming and Removal Service in Loveland.Police said there are no indications that alcohol or drugs were factors in the accident and the results of toxicology tests are pending. There are no indications of suspicious circumstances or foul play, investigators said.Morse's partner saw what happened from the hydraulic bucket where he was cutting branches. He got down and ran to the house where they were working to ask for help. The woman inside called 911 for help, but Morse was pronounced dead at the scene.Officers with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is looking into whether the machine's safety equipment was working properly.From 1992 to 2002, 31 people died on the job from injuries associated with mobile wood chippers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Operators of mobile wood chippers, which have rotating blades to turn branches into mulch, face the potential risk of getting pulled into the feed mechanism. They are advised to wear close-fitting clothing and stand within reach of the emergency shutoff button.Matt Newell, owner of Newell Brothers Tree Service in Fort Collins, said a chipper running at full speed can shred a 20-inch-wide log in 10 or 15 seconds. He said most tree services use wood chippers that are about 6 feet wide.The industrial accident occurred in front of a home near the intersection of Wilson and Fountain avenues, at approximately 1:15 p.m.

Just footsteps (14 to be precise) lrom your own private deck to the waters edge on beautiful Welcome Beach. Nestled in Halfmoon Bay, Welcome Beach is one of the Sunshine Coasts hidden gems! Enjoy beach life and the very best that West Coast wildlife has to offer, without even leaving your sun lounger. Watch the cruise liners glide past at sunset on balmy Summer evenings and wake up to grey whales, sea otters and seals frolicking in the water in front of you in the mornings and eagles soaring overhead!
Kayak from your own deck to the myriad of secret coves, inlets, beaches and islands or just simply 'kick-back' and unwind ... relax, recoup, recharge. Priceless!
Keywords: Waterfront, cottage, cabin, beach, luxury, private, romantic
The ocean on your doorstep, wildlife like no other, unadulterated natural beauty - nature truly at its best, peaceful surroundings, serenity and unbelievable sunsets. Every day brings a new joy!
We had a lovely, relaxing time in the beautiful Carriage House. We look forward to staying here again, maybe in the Summer!
Thanks so much.
I recently had to move to the coast for a career opportunity. As a newly graduated student, with very few options available on the coast, I was given an affordable option and offered to live in the gorgeous carriage house, on Welcome Beach, for 2 months. Not having to worry about moving all of my belongings over right away was a huge stress reliever and gave me the opportunity to settle into my career and new surroundings. It also gave me the chance to look around and find a more permanent place to live. The carriage house is beautiful, with a stunning view of the ocean in the front, and forest like setting in the back. The owners of the property were extremely accommodating and friendly, in assuring my stay included everything I needed. They went above and beyond to help with my transition to life on the Coast. I would highly recommend the carriage suite to anyone looking to get away, to a quiet, peaceful and beautiful setting! I know I will be recommending it to my friends and family.
Spectacular sunrises and sunsets that will result in an audible 'ahhhhh'!!

The New Pictorialism II
Challenge #17 in the Great Movements in Photography series. Hosted by Mark Scott Abeln.
Challenge has finished
In the 19th century, photographers struggled to be seen as artists, and not merely technicians. The Pictorialists wanted to make photography an art form, and they went far beyond mere technical capture of a subject. They wanted to make objects of art that were beautiful and expressed personal emotion. To this end, they heavily modified their images. Pictorialist photographers were more interested in art and aesthetics than subject matter. Pictorialists aimed for emotional impact, rich and delicate images, and poetic interpretations. It also took a lot from the styles of painting in its day, particularly Romanticism and Impressionism. Pictorialism often has a spiritual quality, where the photographer listens to the "still, small, voice". Pictorialism faded with the advent of Photographic Modernism, which was inspired by photographic technology itself. In the 21st century, a New Pictorialism, fueled by the power of image editing tools, is becoming increasingly important.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
by Lewis Carroll
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass Wonderland, Chapter 6 Summary
Pig and Pepper
- Alice arrives at the house and wonders what to do next. Before she can decide, a footman (a kind of servant) who looks like a fish comes running out of the woods behind her and knocks at the door.
- The door is opened by another footman who looks like a frog. Alice, hiding in the trees at the edge of the wood, listens to their conversation.
- The Fish-Footman gives a huge letter to the Frog-Footman and tells him it is an invitation from the Queen for the Duchess to play croquet. The footmen bow to each other and their curly hair gets tangled together.
- Alice has to run away so they don't hear her laughing. When she comes back, the Frog-Footman is alone, sitting near the door and staring at the sky.
- Alice goes up to the house and knocks at the door. The Frog-Footman tells her there's no point in knocking, since they're both on the same side of the door. Plus, there's so much noise inside that none of the other people will hear her.
- At this point, Alice notices that there are a lot of weird noises coming from inside the house – howling, sneezing, and things breaking.
- Alice asks the Frog-Footman how she can get in again, but he just sits there staring into the sky and rambling about the fact that they're both on the same side of the door.
- Suddenly the door opens and a plate is thrown out. It grazes the Footman's nose and breaks against a tree. He doesn't react at all.
- Alice still wants to get in, but the Footman won't open the door for her. He says he's going to go on sitting there for days.
- Finally Alice opens the door herself and goes into the house. Inside, she finds the Duchess holding a baby and a cook stirring a cauldron of soup.
- The first thing Alice notices is that there's a lot of pepper in the soup. She and all the inhabitants of the house keep sneezing because there's so much of it in the air.
- The only thing not sneezing is the cat, which has a wide grin on its face.
- The Duchess explains to Alice that it's a Cheshire-Cat, which always grins. Then the Duchess is rude and Alice is at a loss for words.
- The cook starts throwing things, especially dishes, at the Duchess and the baby. Neither seems to notice.
- Alice begs the cook to stop, but the cook doesn't react. The Duchess tells her to mind her own business, and they get in an argument.
- The Duchess sings a disturbing lullaby to the baby, shaking it at the end of each line. Then she starts tossing it up and down. Alice is relieved when the Duchess hands the baby off to her. (To be strictly accurate, she throws the baby to Alice!)
- Alice catches the baby and figures out how to hold it still by twisting it up in an awkward position. She decides that she can't leave the baby with the abusive Duchess and Cook, so she leaves, taking it with her.
- Alice looks at the baby, which has started grunting and looking like a pig. In fact, it turns into a pig, and Alice sets it down. The pig trots away into the forest.
- Suddenly, Alice notices the Cheshire-Cat sitting on a nearby tree branch. She asks it which direction to go, but the cat tells her it doesn't matter – every direction leads somewhere.
- Alice asks the Cat about the local inhabitants. The Cat describes a Hatter and a Hare, both of which, it says, are mad (insane). In fact, the Cat claims that everyone in the area is mad, including Alice.
- After saying that it will see her at the Queen's croquet match, the Cat vanishes. Then it reappears and asks what happened to the baby. Alice explains, and the Cat disappears again.
- Alice walks on and tries to decide whether to visit the Hatter or the Hare and chooses the Hare. The Cat reappears on another branch to ask her another question, and Alice asks it to stop appearing and disappearing so fast. The Cat apologizes and vanishes gradually this time, eventually leaving nothing but its grin.
- Alice comes to a large house with chimneys shaped like rabbit ears, which she decides must be the March Hare's house. She eats a bit of the left-hand piece of mushroom to make herself large enough for the house and then walks up to it.

I am making a program for some of my teachers that takes a list of students from a .txt file and puts them into random groups with any size that the teacher inputs. When there are a number of students that cannot be evenly divided into that number, I want it to take the remainder and make a special group with the extra students. this is what I have. Note: I have never used bigdecimal and I need some help with the remainder function.
public static void results(String [] names) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int groups = 0;
System.out.println("How many groups do you want?");
if(scan.hasNextInt()) groups = scan.nextInt();
else scan.next();
} while(groups == 0);
BigDecimal numbergroups = new BigDecimal("1.5");
int numberlastgroup = BigDecimal.remainder(BigDecimal.);
String[] Names is the list of names.
Thanks so much!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Frostie from Something to grow with kids. This nightlight works well and the soothing light is great for my daughter who is still a baby. My friend's son was fascinated by the star aspect and loved the booklet that came with it that explained all the constellations. I'm sure this is a toy that will grow with my daughter. It is also very cute.

An introduction to block device drivers
We have already seen several macros which are very helpful in writing block device drivers. Many of these are defined in drivers/block/blk.h, and have to be specially set up.
At the top of the device driver, after including the standard include files your driver needs (which must include linux/major.h and linux/blkdrv.h), you should write the following lines:
#define MAJOR_NR FOO_MAJOR #include "blk.h"
This, in turn, requires that you define FOO_MAJOR to be the major number of the device you are writing in linux/major.h.
Now you need to edit blk.h. One section of blk.h, right near the top, includes definitions of macros that depend on the definition of MAJOR_NR. Add an entry to the end which looks like this:
#elif (MAJOR_NR == FOO_MAJOR) #define DEVICE_NAME "foobar" #define DEVICE_REQUEST do_foo_request #define DEVICE_NR(device) (MINOR(device) >> 6) #define DEVICE_ON(device) #define DEVICE_OFF(device) #endif
These are the required macros for each block device driver. There are more macros that can be defined; they are explained in the KHG.
DEVICE_NAME is the name of the driver. The AT hard drive driver uses the abbreviation "hd" in most places; for example, the request() procedure is called do_hd_request(). However, its DEVICE_NAME is "harddisk". Similarly, the floppy driver, "fd", has a DEVICE_NAME of "floppy". Other drivers are even more descriptive; read blk.h and follow suit.
DEVICE_REQUEST is the request() procedure for the driver.
DEVICE_NR is used to determine the actual physical device. For example, the standard AT hard disk driver uses 64 minor devices for each physical device, so DEVICE_NR is defined as (MINOR(device)>6). The SCSI disk driver uses 16 minor device numbers per physical device, so for it, DEVICE_NR is defined as (MINOR(device)>4). If you have only one minor device number per physical device, define DEVICE_NR as (MINOR(device)).
DEVICE_ON and DEVICE_OFF are only used for devices that have to be turned on and off. The floppy driver is the only driver that uses this capability. You will most likely want to define these to be nothing at all.
All these macros, as well as many others, can be used in your driver where appropriate. blk.h includes a lot of macros, and studying how they are used in other drivers will help you use them in your own driver. I won't document them fully here, but I will briefly mention some of them to make your life easier.
DEVICE_INTR, SET_INTR, and CLEAR_INTR make support for interrupt-driven devices much easier. DEVICE_ TIMEOUT, SET_TIMER, and CLEAR_TIMER help you set limits on how long may be taken to satisfy a request.
I've saved the first, and perhaps most important, thing for last. Before you can read or write a single block, the kernel has to be notified that the device exists. All device drivers are required to implement an initialization function, and there are some special requirements for block device drivers. Here is a sample idealized initialization function:
long foo_init(long mem_start, int length) { if (register_blkdev(FOO_MAJOR,"foo", & foo_fops)) { printk("FOOBAR: Unable to get major %d.\n", FOO_MAJOR); return 0; } if (!foo_exists()) { /* the foobar device doesn't exist */ return 0; } /* initialize hardware if necessary */ /* notify user device found */ printk("FOOBAR: Found at address %d.\n", foo_addr()); /* tell buffer cache how to process requests */ blk_dev[FOO_MAJOR].request_fn = DEVICE_REQUEST; /* specify the blocksize */ blksize_size[MAJOR_NR] = 1024; return(size_of_memory_reserved); }
The three things here that are specific to block device drivers are:
register_blkdev() registers the file operations structure with the Virtual Filesystem Switch (VFS), which is the system that manages access to files.
blk_dev tells the buffer cache where the request procedure is.
blksize_size tells the buffer cache what size blocks to request.
It is worth noting that the hardware device detection and initialization, which I have denoted as foo_exists() here, is very delicate code. If you can rely on a string somewhere in the BIOS of the computer to determine whether the device exists and where it is, it's relatively easy. However, if you have to check various I/O ports, you can hang the computer by writing the wrong value to the wrong port, or even reading the wrong port. Check only well-known ports if you must check ports, and provide kernel command-line arguments for other ports. To do this, read init/main.c and add a section of your own. If you can't figure out how to do it, an explanation is forthcoming in the next version of the KHG.
Of course, none of this initialization will happen if foo_init() is never called. Add a prototype to the top of blk.h with the other prototypes, and add a call to foo_init() in ll_rw_blk.c in the blk_dev_init() function. That call should be protected by #ifdef CONFIG_FOO like the rest of the *_init() functions there, and a corresponding line should be added to the config.in file:
bool `Foobar disk support' CONFIG_FOO y
drivers/block/Makefile should have a section added that looks like this:
ifdef CONFIG_FOO OBJS := $(OBJS) foo.o SRCS := $(SRCS) foo.c endif
This done, configuration should work correctly. Your device driver file does not need to have any references to CONFIG_FOO; the only specific reference to it is commented out in ll_rw_blk.c, and the makefile only builds it if it has been configured in.
Now all you have to do is write and debug your own new block device driver. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope that this whirlwind tour has given you a head start.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Attempting a remote connection to a host, the authentication dialog displays. After entering credentials and the Connect button is clicked nothing happens. The authentication dialog is still there but the fields are blank. No error or information message is received.
If no error is seen, such as Invalid Login, the issue could be that the host is configured for Prompt for Confirmation. This feature requires that someone be at the host to allow the remote connection.
If connectivity to a host is desired when there will be no one present to approve the connection the Prompt to Confirm connection setting will need to be disabled in the Host's properties or the pcAnywhere Settings policy.

Genesis, Turbo Grafx 16, NES, SNES, N64... Lists like a pirates ROM collection, every hardcore classic gamers dream come true. The November launch can't come fast enuf!

This is a very, very tasty salad! Made it withouth the ham, but only because I was serving it with a chicken dinner! Also used slightly less than 1/2 bottle of Italian dressing, which was plenty for us! Thanks for posting your recipe! Definitely want to try it again sometime, WITH the cubbed ham!
This is a pretty salad and has a lot going on visually. With minor adjustments I would make it again for a potluck. I do think the quality & amount of the dressing will impact the salad. I didn't use near the amount suggested & felt I had plenty. Thank you for sharing the recipe! Made for Pick A Chef Spring '09.

Russian Hacker Group Blows ISIS Psyop Wide Open- Leaks ISIS Fake Beheading Video!
Anyone paying attention to world events knows by now that ISIS is nothing more than a reality show created, orchestrated and paid for by CIA, Israeli Mossad and other NATO countries as a tool to usher in their new world order. Many of us still remember the obviously faked and comical beheading videos of James Foley and Steven Sotloff in 2014. For many of us all of it is a ridiculous tale we've long put behind us. Until now that is. New video released by a Russian hacker group shows what appears to be behind the scenes video proof of one of the beheadings confirming all the evidence that has already been released and admitted by many sources. Watch original video below video and judge for yourself.

Samsung GS3 app killer
I just got the GS3 a week ago and am wondering if it's necessary to use an app/task killer with it? I have checked the task manager on the phone regularly and have noticed that the RAM status is consistently at about 1.10GB. Being a new phone with hardly any apps downloaded on it, does this not seem to be a high amount of RAM usage for a new phone?
Is there any way to schedule the phones task manager to kill any unused apps automatically?

Re: Samsung GS3 app killer
Generally speaking, Android will load or keep a loaded app in RAM so they are ready to execute. That saves time AND battery power by having the app ready.
It is only an issue if you have a garbage app that keeps the GPS alive, or such activity, in the background. In that case, delete any badly written power hog apps like that.
Keeping idle apps loaded in RAM, consumes no extra power. If RAM is all free, or if it is full, it consumes the same power.

Remark on Algorithm 761: scattered-data surface fitting that has the accuracy of a cubic polynomial
Cubic function
In mathematics, a cubic function is a function of the form where a is nonzero; or in other words, a polynomial of degree three. The derivative of a cubic function is a quadratic function. The integral of a cubic function is a quartic function. Setting ¿(x) = 0 produces a cubic equation of the form: Usually, the coefficients a, b,c, d are real numbers. However, most of the theory is also valid if they belong to a field of characteristic other than 2 or 3.
more from Wikipedia
In mathematics, specifically in topology, a surface is a two-dimensional topological manifold. The most familiar examples are those that arise as the boundaries of solid objects in ordinary three-dimensional Euclidean space R ¿ for example, the surface of a ball. On the other hand, there are surfaces, such as the Klein bottle, that cannot be embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space without introducing singularities or self-intersections.
more from Wikipedia
Partial derivative
In mathematics, a partial derivative of a function of several variables is its derivative with respect to one of those variables, with the others held constant (as opposed to the total derivative, in which all variables are allowed to vary). Partial derivatives are used in vector calculus and differential geometry. The partial derivative of a function f with respect to the variable x is variously denoted by The partial-derivative symbol is ¿.
more from Wikipedia
Condition number
In the field of numerical analysis, the condition number of a function with respect to an argument measures the asymptotically worst case of how much the function can change in proportion to small changes in the argument. The "function" is the solution of a problem and the "arguments" are the data in the problem. A problem with a low condition number is said to be well-conditioned, while a problem with a high condition number is said to be ill-conditioned.
more from Wikipedia
In linear algebra, the determinant is a value associated with a square matrix. It can be computed from the entries of the matrix by a specific arithmetic expression, while other ways to determine its value exist as well.
more from Wikipedia
A calculation is a deliberate process for transforming one or more inputs into one or more results, with variable change. The term is used in a variety of senses, from the very definite arithmetical calculation of using an algorithm to the vague heuristics of calculating a strategy in a competition or calculating the chance of a successful relationship between two people. For example, multiplying 7 by 8 is a simple algorithmic calculation.

text: Oncothyreon One under-$10 stock that's trending very close to trigger a major breakout trade is Oncothyreon ( ONTY), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of cancer. This stock has been blasted by the sellers during the last three months, with shares off by 56%. If you take a look at the chart for Oncothyreon, you'll notice that this stock has been trading in a tight consolidation pattern for the last month, with shares moving between $1.80 on the downside and $2.15 a share on the upside. This consolidation pattern has come after shares of ONTY gapped down big last December from over $4.50 a share to its recent low of $1.71 a share. Shares of ONTY are now starting to bounce off its recent $1.80 low, and it's quickly moving within range of triggering a breakout trade above the upper-end of its sideways chart pattern. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ONTY if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.15 to $2.35 a share and then once it clears more resistance at around $2.40 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.61 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ONTY will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from last December that started near $4.50 a share. Some possible upside targets if ONTY gets into that gap with volume are $3 to $4 a share. Traders can look to buy ONTY off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits just below some near-term support at $1.80 a share. One can also buy ONTY off strength once it takes out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits just below its 50-day moving average of $2.13 a share. This stock has big time short-squeeze potential if that breakout triggers soon, since the current short interest as a percentage of the float for ONTY is pretty high at 13.5%. Make sure to put this name on your breakout trading radar for the coming weeks. Prev 1 of 6 Next

Good 3.7 /5 from 85 reviews
We go to this hotel each time we're going to this area - easily the best choice around! We were pleasantly surprised to see the rooms and bathrooms have been nicely renovated. We will definitely be back.
Relatively quiet during our stay on way further south. Room clean & spacious but air conditioning ineffective or not working & led to uncomfortable restless night; opening the balcony door helped but let in unwelcome guests & was closed again. The free inclusive breakfast was excellent offering great choices & variety. However, our evening meal was disappointing. Service was tardy/inattentive, cost high and overall choices small, and cost as much as our overnight stay with breakfast even though we had no starter and 1 drink! We waited 30 minutes after being given menus before someone took our drinks order which took another 10 minutes to arrive even though there were only 4 tables 3 floor staff. Dessert was dreadully bad and dry. Creamed mash was also missing from our mains without explanation which we couldn't be bothered to query, and each single vegetable option/portion was charged as a separate added extra! Probably won't come back unless under a low cost inclusive evening meal offer or we find another local eating establishment.
Le personnel est exceptionnel
Positive: - Good sized, well appointed rooms - Large choice of food in restaurant Negative: - Very very slow internet - except if you pay for upgrading - Inconsistency in housekeeping - some days you get bath mat some days not, some days paper cups some days not etc.

Read an Excerpt
It was raining. A soft, silvery drizzle sifted down out of the night sky and wreathed around the blocky watchtowers of the city of Cimmura, hissing in the torches on each side of the broad gate and making the stones of the road leading up to the city shiny and black. A lone rider approached the city. He was wrapped in a dark, heavy traveller's cloak and rode a tall, shaggy roan horse with a long nose and flat, vicious eyes. The traveller was a big man, a bigness of large, heavy bone and ropy tendon rather than of flesh. His hair was coarse and black, and at some time his nose had been broken. He rode easily, but with the peculiar alertness of the trained warrior.
His name was Sparhawk, a man at least ten years older than he looked, who carried the erosion of his years not so much on his battered face as in a half-dozen or so minor infirmities and discomforts and in the several wide purple scars upon his body which always ached in damp weather. Tonight, however, he felt his age and he wished only for a warm bed in the obscure inn which was his goal. Sparhawk was coming home at last after a decade of being someone else with a different name in a country where it almost never rained—where the sun was a hammer pounding down on a bleached white anvil of sand and rock and hard-baked clay, where the walls of the buildings were thick and white to ward off the blows of the sun, and where graceful women went to the wells in the silvery light of early morning with large clay vessels balanced on their shoulders and black veils across their faces.
The big roan horse shuddered absently, shaking the rain out of his shaggy coat, and approached the city gate, stopping in the ruddy circle of torchlight before the gatehouse.
An unshaven gate guard in a rust-splotched breastplate and helmet, and with a patched green cloak negligently hanging from one shoulder, came unsteadily out of the gatehouse and stood swaying in Sparhawk's path. "I'll need your name," he said in a voice thick with drink.
Sparhawk gave him a long stare, then opened his cloak to show the heavy silver amulet hanging on a chain about his neck.
The half-drunk gate guard's eyes widened slightly, and he stepped back a pace. "Oh," he said, "sorry, my Lord. Go ahead."
Another guard poked his head out of the gatehouse. "Who is he, Raf?" he demanded.
"A Pandion Knight," the first guard replied nervously.
"What's his business in Cimmura?"
"I don't question the Pandions, Bral," the man named Raf answered. He smiled ingratiatingly up at Sparhawk. "New man," he said apologetically, jerking his thumb back over his shoulder at his comrade. "He'll learn in time, my Lord. Can we serve you in any way?"
"No," Sparhawk replied, "thanks all the same. You'd better get in out of the rain, neighbor. You'll catch cold out here." He handed a small coin to the green-cloaked guard and rode on into the city, passing up the narrow, cobbled street beyond the gate with the slow clatter of the big roan's steel-shod hooves echoing back from the buildings.
The district near the gate was poor, with shabby, run-down houses standing tightly packed beside each other with their second floors projecting out over the wet, littered street. Crude signs swung creaking on rusty hooks in the night wind, identifying this or that tightly shuttered shop on the street-level floors. A wet, miserable-looking cur slunk across the street with his ratlike tail between his legs. Otherwise, the street was dark and empty.
A torch burned fitfully at an intersection where another street crossed the one upon which Sparhawk rode. A sick young whore, thin and wrapped in a shabby blue cloak, stood hopefully under the torch like a pale, frightened ghost. "Would you like a nice time, sir?" she whined at him. Her eyes were wide and timid, and her face gaunt and hungry.
He stopped, bent in his saddle, and poured a few small coins into her grimy hand. "Go home, little sister," he told her in a gentle voice. "It's late and wet, and there'll be no customers tonight." Then he straightened and rode on, leaving her to stare in grateful astonishment after him. He turned down a narrow side street clotted with shadow and heard the scurry of feet somewhere in the rainy dark ahead of him. His ears caught a quick, whispered conversation in the deep shadows somewhere to his left.
The roan snorted and laid his ears back.
"It's nothing to get excited about," Sparhawk told him. The big man's voice was very soft, almost a husky whisper. It was the kind of voice people turned to hear. Then he spoke more loudly, addressing the pair of footpads lurking in the shadows. "I'd like to accommodate you, neighbors," he said, "but it's late, and I'm not in the mood for casual entertainment. Why don't you go rob some drunk young nobleman instead, and live to steal another day?" To emphasize his words, he threw back his damp cloak to reveal the leather-bound hilt of the plain broadsword belted at his side.
There was a quick, startled silence in the dark street, followed by the rapid patter of fleeing feet.
The big roan snorted derisively.
"My sentiments exactly," Sparhawk agreed, pulling his cloak back around him. "Shall we proceed?"
They entered a large square surrounded by hissing torches where most of the brightly colored canvas booths had their fronts rolled down. A few forlornly hopeful enthusiasts remained open for business, stridently bawling their wares to indifferent passersby hurrying home on a late, rainy evening. Sparhawk reined in his horse as a group of rowdy young nobles lurched unsteadily from the door of a seedy tavern, shouting drunkenly to each other as they crossed the square. He waited calmly until they vanished into a side street and then looked around, not so much wary as alert.
Had there been but a few more people in the nearly empty square, even Sparhawk's trained eye might not have noticed Krager. The man was of medium height and he was rumpled and unkempt. His boots were muddy, and his maroon cape carelessly caught at the throat. He slouched across the square, his wet, colorless hair plastered down on his narrow skull and his watery eyes blinking nearsightedly as he peered about in the rain. Sparhawk drew in his breath sharply. He hadn't seen Krager since that night in Cippria, almost ten years ago, and the man had aged considerably. His face was grayer and more pouchy-looking, but there could be no question that it was Krager.
Since quick movements attracted the eye, Sparhawk's reaction was studied. He dismounted slowly and led his big horse to a green canvas food vendor's stall, keeping the animal between himself and the nearsighted man in the maroon cape. "Good evening, neighbor," he said to the brown-clad food vendor in his deadly quiet voice. "I have some business to attend to. I'll pay you if you'll watch my horse."
The unshaven vendor's eyes came quickly alight.
"Don't even think it," Sparhawk warned. "The horse won't follow you, no matter what you do—but I will, and you wouldn't like that at all. Just take the pay and forget about trying to steal the horse."
The vendor looked at the big man's bleak face, swallowed hard, and made a jerky attempt at a bow. "Whatever you say, my Lord," he agreed quickly, his words tumbling over each other. "I vow to you that your noble mount will be safe with me."
"Noble what?"
"Noble mount—your horse."
"Oh, I see. I'd appreciate that."
"Can I do anything else for you, my Lord?"
Sparhawk looked across the square at Krager's back. "Do you by chance happen to have a bit of wire handy—about so long?" He measured out perhaps three feet with his hands.
"I may have, my Lord. The herring kegs are bound with wire. Let me look."
Sparhawk crossed his arms and leaned them on his saddle, watching Krager across the horse's back. The past years, the blasting sun, and the women going to the wells in the steely light of early morning fell away, and quite suddenly he was back in the stockyards outside Cippria with the stink of dung and blood on him, the taste of fear and hatred in his mouth, and the pain of his wounds making him weak as his pursuers searched for him with their swords in their hands.
He pulled his mind away from that, deliberately concentrating on this moment rather than the past. He hoped that the vendor could find some wire. Wire was good. No noise, no mess, and with a little time it could be made to look exotic—the kind of thing one might expect from a Styric or perhaps a Pelosian. It wasn't so much Krager, he thought as the tense excitement built in him. Krager had never been more than a dim, feeble adjunct to Martel—an extension, another set of hands, just as the other man, Adus, had never been more than a weapon. It was what Krager's death would do to Martel—that was what mattered.
"This is the best I could find, my Lord," the greasy-aproned food vendor said respectfully, coming out of the back of his canvas booth and holding out a length of rusty, soft-iron wire. "I'm sorry. It isn't much."
"It's just fine," Sparhawk replied, taking the wire. He snapped the rusty strand taut between his hands. "It's perfect, in fact." Then he turned to his horse. "Stay here, Faran," he said.
The horse bared his teeth at him. Sparhawk laughed softly and moved out into the square, some distance behind Krager. If the nearsighted man were found in some shadowy doorway, bowed tautly backward with the wire knotted about his neck and ankles and with his eyes popping out of a blackened face, or facedown in the trough of some back-alley public urinal, that would unnerve Martel, hurt him, perhaps even frighten him. It might be enough to bring him out into the open, and Sparhawk had been waiting for years for a chance to catch Martel out in the open. Carefully, his hands concealed beneath his cloak, he began to work the kinks out of his length of wire, even as he stalked his quarry.
His senses had become preternaturally alert. He could clearly hear the guttering of the torches along the sides of the square and see their orange flicker reflected in the puddles of water lying among the cobblestones. That reflected glow seemed for some reason very beautiful. Sparhawk felt good—better perhaps than he had for ten years.
"Sir Knight? Sir Sparhawk? Can that be you?"
Startled, Sparhawk turned quickly, swearing under his breath. The man who had accosted him had long, elegantly curled blond hair. He wore a saffron-colored doublet, lavender hose, and an apple-green cloak. His wet maroon shoes were long and pointed, and his cheeks were rouged. The small, useless sword at his side and his broadbrimmed hat with its dripping plume marked him as a courtier, one of the petty functionaries and parasitic hangers-on who infested the palace like vermin.
"What are you doing back here in Cimmura?" the fop demanded, his high-pitched, effeminate voice startled. "You were banished."
Sparhawk looked quickly at the man he had been following. Krager was nearing the entrance to a street that opened into the square, and in a moment he would be out of sight. It was still possible, however. One quick, hard blow would put this overdressed butterfly before him to sleep, and Krager would still be within reach. Then a hot disappointment filled Sparhawk's mouth as a detachment of the watch marched into the square with lumbering tread. There was no way now to dispose of this interfering popinjay without attracting their attention. The look he directed at the perfumed man barring his path was flat with anger.
The courtier stepped back nervously, glancing quickly at the soldiers who were moving along in front of the booths, checking the fastenings on the rolled-down canvas fronts. "I insist that you tell me what you're doing back here," he said, trying to sound authoritative.
"Insist? You?" Sparhawk's voice was full of contempt.
The other man looked quickly at the soldiers again, seeking reassurance, then he straightened boldly. "I'm taking you in charge, Sparhawk. I demand that you give an account of yourself." He reached out and grasped Sparhawk's arm.
"Don't touch me." Sparhawk spat out the words, striking the hand away.
"You hit me!" the courtier gasped, clutching at his hand in pain.
Sparhawk took the man's shoulder in one hand and pulled him close. "If you ever put your hands on me again, I'll rip out your guts. Now get out of my way."
"I'll call the watch," the fop threatened.
"And how long do you think you'll continue to live after you do that?"
"You can't threaten me. I have powerful friends."
"But they're not here, are they? I am, however." Sparhawk pushed him away in disgust and turned to walk on across the square.
"You Pandions can't get away with this highhanded behavior anymore. There are laws in Elenia now," the overdressed man called after him shrilly. "I'm going straight to Baron Harparin. I'm going to tell him that you've come back to Cimmura and about how you hit me and threatened me."
"Good," Sparhawk replied without turning. "Do that." He continued to walk away, his irritation and disappointment rising to the point where he had to clench his teeth tightly to keep himself under control. Then an idea came to him. It was petty—even childish—but for some reason it seemed quite appropriate. He stopped and straightened his shoulders, muttering under his breath in the Styric tongue, even as his fingers wove intricate designs in the air in front of him. He hesitated slightly, groping for the word for carbuncle. He finally settled for boils instead and completed the incantation. He turned slightly, looked at his tormentor, and released the spell. Then he turned back and continued on across the square, smiling slightly to himself. It was, to be sure, quite petty, but Sparhawk was like that sometimes.
He handed the food vendor a coin for minding Faran, swung up into his saddle, and rode across the square in the misty drizzle, a big man shrouded in a rough wool cloak, astride an ugly-faced roan horse.
Once he was past the square, the streets were dark and empty again, with guttering torches hissing in the rain at intersections and casting their dim, sooty orange glow. The sound of Faran's hooves was loud in the empty street. Sparhawk shifted slightly in his saddle. The sensation he felt was very faint, a kind of prickling of the skin across his shoulders and up the back of his neck, but he recognized it immediately. Someone was watching him, and the watcher was not friendly. Sparhawk shifted again, carefully trying to make the movement appear to be no more than the uncomfortable fidgeting of a saddle-weary traveller. His right hand, however, was concealed beneath his cloak and it sought the hilt of his sword. The oppressive sense of malevolence increased, and then, in the shadows beyond the flickering torch at the next intersection, he saw a figure robed and hooded in a dark gray garment that blended so well into the shadows and wreathing drizzle that the watcher was almost invisible.
The roan tensed his muscles, and his ears flicked.
"I see him, Faran," Sparhawk replied very quietly.
They continued on along the cobblestone street, passing through the pool of orange torchlight and on into the shadowy street beyond. Sparhawk's eyes re- adjusted to the dark, but the hooded figure had already vanished up some alleyway or through one of the narrow doors along the street. The sense of being watched was gone, and the street was no longer a place of danger. Faran moved on, his hooves clattering on the wet stones.
The inn which was Sparhawk's destination was on an unobtrusive back street. It was gated at the front of its central courtyard with stout oaken planks. Its walls were peculiarly high and thick, and a single, dim lantern glowed beside a much-weathered wooden sign that creaked mournfully as it swung back and forth in the rain-filled night breeze. Sparhawk pulled Faran close to the gate, leaned back in his saddle, and kicked the rain-blackened planks solidly with one spurred foot. There was a peculiar rhythm to the kicks.
He waited.
Then the gate creaked inward and the shadowy form of a porter, hooded in black, looked out. He nodded briefly, then pulled the gate wider to admit Sparhawk. The big knight rode into the rain-wet courtyard and slowly dismounted. The porter swung the gate shut and barred it, then he pushed his hood back from his steel helm, turned, and bowed. "My Lord," he greeted Sparhawk respectfully.
"It's too late at night for formalities, Sir Knight," Sparhawk responded, also with a brief bow.
"Formality is the very soul of gentility, Sir Sparhawk," the porter replied ironically. "I try to practice it whenever I can."
"As you wish." Sparhawk shrugged. "Will you see to my horse?"
"Of course. Your man, Kurik, is here."
Sparhawk nodded, untying the two heavy leather bags from the skirt of his saddle.
"I'll take those up for you, my Lord," the porter offered.
"There's no need. Where's Kurik?"
"First door at the top of the stairs. Will you want supper?"
Sparhawk shook his head. "Just a bath and a warm bed." He turned to his horse, who stood dozing with one hind leg cocked slightly so that his hoof rested on its tip. "Wake up, Faran," he told the animal.
Faran opened his eyes and gave him a flat, unfriendly stare.
"Go with this knight," Sparhawk instructed firmly. "Don't try to bite him, or kick him, or pin him against the side of the stall with your rump—and don't step on his feet, either."
The big roan briefly laid back his ears and then sighed.
Sparhawk laughed. "Give him a few carrots," he instructed the porter.
"How can you tolerate this foul-tempered brute, Sir Sparhawk?"
"We're perfectly matched," Sparhawk replied. "It was a good ride, Faran," he said then to the horse. "Thank you, and sleep warm."
The horse turned his back on him.
"Keep your eyes open, Sir Knight," Sparhawk cautioned the porter. "Someone was watching me as I rode here, and I got the feeling that it was a little more than idle curiosity."
The knight porter's face hardened. "I'll tend to it, my Lord," he said.
"Good." Sparhawk turned and crossed the wet, glistening stones of the courtyard and mounted the steps leading to the roofed gallery on the second floor of the inn.

We show an empirically driven process to validate the availability models of RISC System/6000 workstations. The empirical data is obtained by tracking RISC System/6000 workstations in the field. The tracking data is obtained by using customer surveys and by using an availability measurement tool installed on selected running systems. We model several types of RISC System/6000 workstations using the SAVE tool. Care is taken to include all classes of systems. The workstations modeled include representatives from the desktop, deskside, and rack families. We explain the key principle of the "representative field model." For each type of workstation modeled, availability data for validation is extracted from the customer survey database or the availability measurement database. The validation data is used to identify and eliminate model errors. The identification and elimination of modeling errors involves sensitivity analysis. The validation of the availability measures of several RISC System/6000 workstations using both survey and measurement data confirms the accuracy of our modeling process and gives us the confidence to utilize the availability models in our development and marketing processes. Also, this enables us to generate accurate availability measures in our future availability modeling efforts

Maxima and Minima from Calculus
One of the great powers of calculus is in the determination of the maximum or minimum value of a function. Take f(x) to be a function of x. Then the value of x for which the derivative of f(x) with respect to x is equal to zero corresponds to a maximum, a minimum or an inflexion point of the function f(x).
For example, the height of a projectile that is fired straight up is given by the motion equation:
Taking y0 = 0, a graph of the height y(t) is shown below.
The derivative of a function can be geometrically interpreted as the slope of the curve of the mathematical function y(t) plotted as a function of t. The derivative is positive when a function is increasing toward a maximum, zero (horizontal) at the maximum, and negative just after the maximum. The second derivative is the rate of change of the derivative, and it is negative for the process described above since the first derivative (slope) is always getting smaller. The second derivative is always negative for a "hump" in the function, corresponding to a maximum

4 (6-ounce) skinless halibut fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (1/2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
3/4 cup diced carrot (about 2 large)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
4 lime wedges
Soak bean threads in warm water 10 minutes; drain.
. Drizzle soy sauce over fish, and set aside.
. Combine broth and next 5 ingredients in a deep 12-inch skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar melts. Add carrot; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
. Add fish; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes or until fish is firm and centers of fillets are almost opaque (fish should not be completely cooked). Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 2 minutes to allow fish to finish cooking.
. To serve, divide bean threads among shallow bowls. Place fish over bean threads; ladle soup over fish. Sprinkle with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
